most lethal and combat effective fighting force in the world. this is basically saying that if you re transgender, you re not combat effective. well, i have to challenge that notion because what are we quantifying as combat effective in lethality, right? historically, we had said women weren t combat effective. that s proven false. it proved false in world war ii with female snipers. it proved false with the women that were part of the lioness program and things like that. and with trans service members, we have them serving in every capacity and job field within the united states military, doing exemplary jobs. so i don t really understand that logic. we have infantry men not capable to pass basic physical fitness tests, yet that kind of failure or lack of measure to stand up in these biologically assigned gender roles is not scrutinized. this wasn t an issue any
